French author

Jules Gabriel Verne (February 8, 1828–March 24, 1905) was a French
author who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for
novels such as Journey To The Center Of The Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under The Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty
Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before
air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical
means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated
author in the world, according to Index Translationum. Some of his
books have been made into films.

The "Voyages Extraordinaires" of M. Jules Verne deserve to be made
widely known in English-speaking countries by means of carefully prepared
translations. Witty and ingenious adaptations of the researches
and discoveries of modern science to the popular taste, which demands
that these should be presented to ordinary readers in the lighter form of
cleverly mingled truth and fiction, these books will assuredly be read
with profit and delight, especially by English youth. Certainly no writer
before M.

Little though they seem to think of it, the people of this twenty-ninth
century live continually in fairyland. Surfeited as they are with marvels,
they are indifferent in presence of each new marvel. To them all seems
natural.

If I speak of myself in this story, it is because I have been deeply involved
in its startling events, events doubtless among the most extraordinary
which this twentieth century will witness. Sometimes I even
ask myself if all this has really happened, if its pictures dwell in truth in
my memory, and not merely in my imagination.

The engineer's curiosity was excited to the highest pitch. It never occurred
to him to doubt whether this letter might not be a hoax. For many
years he had known Simon Ford, one of the former foremen of the Aberfoyle
mines, of which he, James Starr, had for twenty years, been the
manager, or, as he would be termed in English coal-mines, the viewer.
James Starr was a strongly-constituted man, on whom his fifty-five years
weighed no more heavily than if they had been forty. He belonged to an
old Edinburgh family, and was one of its most distinguished members.

With the general knowledge of geography now possessed we may well wonder at the wild notion entertained
both by Bonaparte and the French authorities that it would be possible, after conquering Egypt, to march an
army through Syria, Persia, and the wild countries of the northern borders of India, and to drive the British
altogether from that country.

There are two primary types of external buffers. First, there are national regulatory
authorities — for the Flemish community this is the Vlaamse Regulator voor de Media
(VRM), for the French it is the Conseil Superieur de l’Audiovisuel (CSA). Both agencies are
intended to ensure that the public service broadcasters carry out the objectives set forth
in their contracts. They have no legal authority to intervene in programming decisions.
VRM is led by a five-person general board: by law, this must include a chairman, a judge
and three media professionals.
